Tech We Can Champions
Tech We Can Champions are volunteers who use our educational resources to inspire future generations about a career in tech.
Why should I become a champion?
Help tackle the technology gender gap
We're committed to our vision for women to be equal members in creating and developing the new tech businesses, products and services that shape our world. In order to do this, we need to address the root causes of the technology gender gap - and that begins with education.
Support education
By sharing your experiences, you’ll help to expand young people’s knowledge of all the career options they have available to them - and help bring to life the benefits and opportunities that a career in tech can offer.
Be part of a positive movement
As well as making a difference to young people in your community, you’ll also become part of a network of like-minded individuals as a Tech We Can Champion and STEM ambassador.
What do champions do?
As a Tech We Can Champion, you'll use our educational resources in schools (either in person or virtually) to inspire children about a future career in technology.
Our Tech We Can educational resources are designed for use by everyone, so you don't need any specialist knowledge to be able to deliver the lessons to students.
To become a Tech We Can Champion, you must first register as a STEM Ambassador before delivering any content to students (this is a free process and a requirement for all our volunteers). For your benefit, this provides you with:
- A free DBS check
- An induction to working with young people
- Access to a variety of STEM resources
- Access to a community of like-minded STEM volunteers
